(c) The Error arises as a result of EVBox following any customisation or Product specification supplied by Customer;
(d) Repairs or other interventions on the Products are performed by persons not trained for this purpose, against EVBox’s oral or written instructions, or with parts not supplied or approved by EVBox; or

Under no circumstances is EVBox obliged to reconstruct Customer Data.

15.5 Customer acknowledges and accepts that EVBox has the right to share Customer Data with third parties in order to perform the Services, as well as the right to use Customer Data for improving its Services, including anonymized statistical purposes.

15.6 If Customer wants EVBox to send Customer Data to Customer upon expiry or termination of the Agreement, then Customer must within thirty (30) days (“Retention Period”) send such request to EVBox. Following the expiration of the Retention Period, EVBox will disable the applicable account(s) and then has the right to delete the associated Customer Data in its possession (or in the possession of any affiliate or subcontractor), save for archival copies, which will be erased/destroyed according to EVBox’s standard back-up and retention process. Other than as described in this clause, EVBox has no obligation to continue to hold, export or return the Customer Data.

16. LIABILITY

16.1 Without prejudice to clause 17 (Force Majeure), EVBox is only liable for a breach of its obligations under the Agreement if Customer notifies EVBox in writing through a notice of default, containing a complete and detailed description of the breach and with observance of a reasonable period for remedy of at least twenty (20) Business Days, and EVBox fails to take remedial measures within that reasonable period.

16.2 Any liability that EVBox may incur derives from a reasonable effort obligation. Except in case of EVBox's fraud or fraudulent intent, EVBox's liability for a breach of its obligations under the Agreement is limited to compensation of proven direct damages in accordance with the following principles, which apply cumulatively:
(a) The cumulative total aggregate liability of EVBox is limited to the net invoice amount (i) in case of Products, the paid Products delivered under the Agreement, or (ii) in case of Services, the charge for the year in which the cause of action arises;
(b) EVBox is not liable for any indirect damage and/or consequential damage, such as but not limited to loss of profit, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of income, loss of revenue, loss of anticipated savings, loss of opportunity, loss of customers, claims of logistic service providers or other third parties, damage as a result of loss and/or corruption of data, loss of goodwill and reputational damage; and
(c) EVBox is not liable for any damages or costs of Customer or third parties as a result of a violation by Customer of its obligations under the Agreement or as a result of an act or omission by Customer or third party (including but not limited to the event where installation of the Products is performed by Customer or a third party).

17. FORCE MAJEURE

Neither Party shall be in breach of the Agreement nor liable for delay or failure to comply with its obligations under the Agreement, if this delay or failure was the result of Force Majeure. In such a case, EVBox may suspend or terminate the access to any of the Services by giving Customer a prior written reasonable notice to the extent possible. In such case and in the event there are still outstanding charges, charges for Services delivered until the termination date will be due on a pro rata basis.

18. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

18.1 The Agreement is governed by the Laws of the EVBox entity identified in the Agreement, without reference to the conflict of laws provisions. The applicability of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods 1980 is excluded.

18.2 Each Party irrevocably agrees that the competent courts of the registered address of EVBox, as specified in the Agreement, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Agreement.

19. GENERAL PROVISIONS

19.1 Unless explicitly agreed in writing between the Parties, the Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties in respect of its subject matter and supersedes any previous agreement, warranty, statement, representation, understanding, or undertaking (in each case whether written or oral) notwithstanding the terms of any such previous agreement or arrangement expressed to survive termination. The applicability of any of Customer’s purchasing or other general terms and conditions is expressly rejected, unless agreed otherwise by EVBox in writing.

19.2 Without prejudice to EVBox’s right to implement changes to the Agreement as stated in the preamble, deviations from the Agreement shall only apply where agreed in writing between the Parties and only apply to the specific agreement containing the deviation.

19.3 Unless stated otherwise in the Agreement, all notices under the Agreement may be sent through the Application, by e-mail or by registered mail with confirmation of receipt, addressed to the address as mentioned in the Agreement. In case of a change of address, either Party can notify this to the other Party following the rules as set out in this clause.

19.4 Customer is not allowed to transfer all or any of its rights and obligations under the Agreement to a third party without the prior written consent of EVBox.

19.5 If EVBox at any given time does not enforce any clause of the Agreement, this cannot be interpreted as a waiver to later rely on the said Agreement.

19.6 If any provision of the Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in any respect it shall not affect or impair the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Agreement; and if such provision would be legal, valid or enforceable to the extent some part of it were deleted, such provision shall apply with the minimum modifications necessary to make it legal, valid or enforceable.

19.7 Termination or expiry of the Agreement, howsoever caused, shall not affect any provision of the Agreement which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or remain in effect on or after termination or expiry of the Agreement, including clauses 6 (Product warranty), 8 (Services warranty), 12.1(f) (Confidentiality), 14 (Intellectual Property), 15 (Data), 16 (Liability) and 18 (Applicable law and jurisdiction).
